Teenagers seeking a summer job through the city's youth employment program must show up in person with various forms of identification at the final sign-up event from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Lincoln Park pool bathhouse, city officials said.

The procedure is different from past years, when applications could be mailed. There has been a lag in approved applicants this year, which number 500 so far, officials said.

Summer employment is open to city residents, ages 14 to 18. Applicants should arrive at Saturday's sign-up in interview attire, completed application, photo ID, birth certificate, Social Security card, working papers (14-17 years old).

Applications have been distributed to city schools and are available online.

Following an orientation, the program runs from July 7 to Aug. 8. Youths will be assigned to work sites Monday through Thursday, with mandatory training sessions on Fridays.
